  2. On the form that appears, you can:
    • View general information on your mailboxes
    • Increase Mail Store Quota and Public Store Quota by clicking on the edit icon and agreeing to charges, if any.
    • Add a mailbox
    • Edit an existing Mailbox
    • Remove an existing Mailbox by clicking the Trash icon next to the Mailbox you need.

To add a mailbox:

  1. Go to MS Exchange>Mailboxes menu of your Control Panel
  2. Click the Add mailbox icon.

    • Principal name: your mailbox name.
    • Password: a mailbox password in conformity with Windows server password restrictions.

To edit an existing mailbox:

  1. Go to MS Exchange>Mailboxes menu of your Control Panel
  2. Click the Edit icon next to the mailbox you want to edit
